Holiday Candy

I carried a few photos and some holiday candy with me to sketch as I waiting for my three-month car maintenance yesterday. (These scanned much darker than they really are.)

A good friend of mine gave me a wonderful vase filled with these candies. I was thinking as I sketched these that their flavor -- a bright mint -- is often so nice during dry, cold winter weather. These past weeks have been so unseasonably warm -- yesterday was almost 75F!! -- that the mind was refreshingly cool!

I wish I could be just like you! JUST BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!I feel the depth of the pieces and am sooo impressed!!Hugs,Patti

Very sweet in all ways. And once again, I admire your industry and conscientiousness, cara. These are lovely little sketches and now you will always have something to remind you of your car's service department ;D.

Greetings! Lovely work. I really appreciate how you were able to do the plastic wrapping. :) ... while not the sexiest part of the image, surely the most complicated in my mind. Great job! Cheers! Mary Ellen
